I like the person I was at camp. That is not who I am anymore.

I think you're chivey! (and I think I need to start using real words :) )

Thanks, Karen! Real words are overrated.

I like you!

You don't even know me! But thanks anyway.

Wow it's funny that I IMed you right after you wrote this (I hadn't read it yet, honest). I suppose I could just tell you everything you keep telling me, but I won't. I wouldn't worry about who you are here, seems to me you're a rather wonderful person. Maybe it's like when Paul says he "became all things to all people." You can't always be the person you were when you were ministering to Jr. Highers. I bet you're the same person now that you were then, just with a bit of a different flavor.

This really wasn't meant to be a fishing for complimens post. I like who I am just fine, I just like who I was then better. I think how I would describe it is living up to all the potential God gave me. I was less selfish, less doubtful, and so much more focused on God and on serving others. I don't even remember what it is I keep telling you. But it was indeed funny when you IMmed me last night and started talking about what I had just posted. I like what you said about becoming all things to all people. Maybe the people at camp just make me a better person. They demand it of me, so, being the obliging person that I am, I give it to them. It's far too easy to slip into cynicism and selfishness and worldly attitudes here because I guess in a sense, it's what's demanded of me. And being the obliging person I am, I give it to them. I don't know how to do otherwise.
(petty example: just look at all the times I used the word "I" in this comment. [17, and five mes] SELFISH!)

Sometimes when I'm fishing for trout I catch whitefish, because whitefish bite the same things trout do.
